Etymology

[edit]

With Nepali पछार्नु (pachārnu, to knock down, beat clothes in washing), Punjabi ਪਛਾੜਨਾ (pachāṛnā), Marathi पछाडणे (pachāḍṇe), Gujarati પછાડવું (pachāḍvũ), probably verbalized from Prakrit पच्छाडिद (pacchāḍida, washed) of further uncertain further origin. Perhaps related to any or all of छड़ना (chaṛnā, to sift), छटकना (chaṭaknā, to be scattered), छटपटाना (chaṭapṭānā, to be flustered), छाँटना (chā̃ṭnā, to sort), छिड़कना (chiṛaknā, to sprinkle), छीट (chīṭ), छीटा (chīṭā, splash), छींटना (chī̃ṭnā, to splash), छितराना (chitrānā, to scatter), and बिछड़ना (bichaṛnā, to be separated), the last of which has a बि- (bi-) < Sanskrit वि- (vi-) where this term has प- (pa-) < Sanskrit प्र- (pra-). Perhaps all or some of these terms are from the root Sanskrit छृद् (chṛd, to cause to flow over, eject).
